Chapter 622 Two swords combined
At this critical moment that determines the fate of the cultivation world, the entire world seemed to hold its breath, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yun Yao and Chu Mochen.
Liu Yan'er rushed over frantically with the remnant soul of the Burning Heaven Ancestor. Her originally lively eyes had now turned into red-gold, as if she was possessed by a demon, and her eyes revealed endless madness and murderous intent. The demonic energy overflowing from her fingertips was like a black poisonous snake, twisting wantonly. Wherever it passed, ripples appeared in the space, as if even the air was corroded by this evil force, making a "sizzling" sound. The surging demonic energy swept straight towards Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, trying to devour them. Even though the calamity fire and black ice that the two of them had sacrificed together formed a net and temporarily resisted this wave of attacks, the demonic energy was still like a maggot on the tarsal bone, constantly eroding the defense network and was about to break it.
At this critical moment, the Lord of Burning Heaven Palace suddenly appeared. His tall figure was like a towering black mountain, giving people an endless sense of oppression. He waved his hands and muttered something. The huge Burning Heart Mirror floating behind him slowly turned. In the mirror, Yun Yao's mother's pale face became clearer and clearer, as if silently telling of pain and despair.
“Want to save people?” The Lord of Burning Heaven Palace laughed wildly with his head raised, his laughter making the surrounding space buzz, as if it would burst people’s eardrums. “Then use your spiritual vein to exchange it - anyway, your mother’s soul has long been integrated with the main mirror!” His voice was full of teasing and ridicule, as if he was sure that Yun Yao and the others were in a desperate situation and could only surrender obediently.
Yun Yao looked at her mother's lip language in the mirror, and her heart trembled suddenly. In an instant, as if a flash of lightning passed through her mind, she suddenly understood: "It turns out that the last fragment is my spiritual vein!" As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, Yun Yao made a decision without hesitation.
"No!" Chu Mochen noticed Yun Yao's intention, his eyes widened, and he stretched out his hand in fear to stop her, his voice full of anxiety and reluctance. He knew too well what this decision meant. Once Yun Yao gave up her spiritual vein, she would be severely injured, and her life might even be in danger. But Yun Yao had made up her mind. She gently but firmly pushed Chu Mochen's hand away, her eyes revealing determination and fearlessness.
Yun Yao took a deep breath, ignoring her body trembling, and took the initiative to slowly inject her spiritual veins into the Burning Heart Mirror. In an instant, a dazzling golden light burst out from the mirror, like a newborn sun, and the light instantly illuminated the entire space. Then, her mother's soul finally appeared. Her figure was a little illusory, as if it could dissipate at any time, but her face was full of kindness.
"Yao'er, remember, Yunhua Sect's 'heart against heaven' is not against heaven, but..." Before he finished speaking, the shadow of Patriarch Fentian emerged from the mirror, like a demon crawling out of the dark abyss, with fangs and claws bared. He stretched out a huge hand that seemed to be condensed by demonic energy, and suddenly grabbed the mother's soul, ready to drag it into the bottomless abyss at the bottom of the mirror.
"Don't even think about it!" Yun Yao was furious when she saw this, and her fingertips quickly pinched the magic formula that her mother had taught her in the illusion. As the magic formula was performed, the Heavenly Dao Wheel that was originally suspended in the air seemed to be pulled by some powerful force, and suddenly trembled violently. Then, with a crisp "click", the wheel split into two. Half of it flashed with a soft light and merged into Yun Yao's spiritual veins. In an instant, Yun Yao's body was covered with a layer of light golden light, as if she was wearing a layer of sacred armor; the other half turned into a stream of light, flew towards Chu Mochen, and hovered steadily in front of him.
Chu Mochen subconsciously reached out and grasped the half of the roulette fragment. At the moment of contact, a majestic and mysterious power seemed to awaken from ancient times and flowed into his body along his arm. He felt that the spiritual power in his body was like a boiling river, surging, and the Xuanbing knife in his hand seemed to be summoned by something and trembled violently. Then, a dazzling light flashed, and the original Xuanbing knife disappeared. In its place was a "Sword of Questioning the Heart" that exuded an ancient atmosphere. On the sword body, runes flashed, as if telling the past glory of Yunhua Sect.
At the same time, the Fire Sword in Yun Yao's hand also underwent an amazing transformation. The blazing fire seemed to have been baptized by some kind of divine power. The fire became more intense, and the color changed from orange-red to pure gold, as if it was condensed from heavenly fire. The sword body continued to extend and deform, and finally transformed into a "Heaven-Defying Sword" shining with brilliant light. Yun Yao held the hilt tightly, as if holding the hope of the whole world.
The moment the two swords touched, it was like the collision of stars, sparking a burst of brilliant light. In the light, the roulette wheel appeared again, but this time, it turned into a huge "Heavenly Balance", with two huge golden balls "Following Heaven" and "Against Heaven" suspended at both ends, as if representing two completely different laws of heaven, exuding a mysterious and majestic atmosphere.
Yun Yao stared at the balance of heaven, and countless flashes of inspiration seemed to pass through her mind. Suddenly, she understood what her mother had not finished saying: "Going against the will of heaven is not about subversion, but about balance!" At that moment, she seemed to transcend life and death, and the cruel battle before her eyes, and an unprecedented enlightenment surged in her heart.
"Chu Mochen, let's go together!" Yun Yao turned and looked at Chu Mochen, her eyes full of determination and trust.
"Okay, we'll share life and death together!" Chu Mochen nodded heavily, with the same determination in his eyes.
The two shouted in unison, as if to vent all the courage and faith in their hearts. They swung their swords at the same time, and the two swords were like two agile dragons, piercing straight into the center of the scale with an indomitable momentum.
"Boom!" A loud noise seemed to shatter the heaven and earth. The balance shattered and turned into countless fragments of light, shooting in all directions. But at this seemingly destroyed moment, in the void, a crack seemed to be slowly torn open by a pair of invisible hands. In the crack, light flickered, as if the most mysterious treasure in the universe was hidden. Gradually, the core of the Burning Heart Mirror was revealed. There, the tampered "Origin of Heaven" was sealed, like a pearl tainted by evil power, emitting a strange and twisted light.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other, and both saw solemnity and determination in each other's eyes. They knew that the real challenge had just begun...
At this moment, the whole space seemed to fall into a strange silence, and everyone was stunned by the shocking scene before their eyes. Liu Yan'er's originally crazy movements also stagnated, and a trace of fear and confusion flashed in her eyes, as if she couldn't believe that Yun Yao and Chu Mochen would do such a heaven-defying thing. The arrogant smile of the Lord of Burning Heaven also froze on his face in an instant, replaced by a look of astonishment and anger. He was like an enraged prehistoric beast, staring at Yun Yao and the others, and the murderous intent in his eyes seemed like a materialized sharp blade.
Yun Yao took a deep breath and rushed towards the core first. She was agile, like a dancing butterfly, moving freely among the flying fragments of light. With every step she took, a circle of golden ripples appeared under her feet, as if she was stepping on the galaxy. The sword of the Heaven-Defying Dao in her hand hummed, as if it was resonating with her, eager to fight against the tampered source of the Heavenly Dao.
Chu Mochen followed closely behind, his spiritual power surging around him, as if he was wearing a layer of dazzling armor. The Sword of the Heart in his hand seemed like a living thing, constantly breathing out sword energy, clearing the obstacles in front of him. His eyes were as firm as a rock, staring at Yun Yao's back, as if that was the only direction in his life. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, he would fight side by side with Yun Yao, protect her, and protect the justice they were pursuing together.
Just as the two were about to approach the core, a powerful repulsive force suddenly blocked them like an invisible wall. This force seemed to come from the depths of the universe, with endless majesty and oppression, trying to keep them out. Yun Yao snorted coldly, and the spiritual power in her body circulated wildly. The sword in her hand shone brightly, and she slashed at the repulsive force fiercely.
"Crack!" A sound like glass breaking rang out, and Yun Yao's sword cut a crack in the repulsive force. She took the opportunity to take a step forward, but before she could gain a firm foothold, a black lightning bolt roared out from the core like a dragon that was ready to devour its prey, and struck straight at her.
"Be careful!" Chu Mochen was horrified when he saw this. He flashed and stood in front of Yun Yao in an instant. He held the sword of inquiry in his hand and caught the lightning. In an instant, he felt a huge force coming at him like a tidal wave. His body seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer and flew backwards uncontrollably.
"Chu Mochen!" Yun Yao exclaimed, her eyes full of anxiety and distress. She flashed and quickly flew to Chu Mochen's side, reaching out to support him. Chu Mochen's face was as pale as paper, blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth, and his breathing was disordered. It was obvious that he had suffered serious internal injuries.
"I'm fine." Chu Mochen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, forced a smile, and comforted Yun Yao. But how could Yun Yao rest assured? A trace of determination flashed in her eyes. She turned her head to look at the core and gritted her teeth and said, "Today, I must restore the origin of the Heavenly Dao to its original state!"
After that, she gently put Chu Mochen aside, grasped the sword again, and rushed towards the core. This time, she seemed to burn her soul, and the spiritual power in her body gushed out like crazy, pouring into the sword. The sword seemed to feel her determination, and the light seemed to pierce the sky. The runes on the sword seemed to come alive and jumped wildly.
Yun Yao rushed to the core, facing the strange light that seemed like an endless abyss, without any hesitation, she stabbed down with the sword in her hand.
"Buzz!" At the moment when the tip of the sword touched the core, a force that seemed to come from ancient times seemed to be awakened and rebounded violently, causing Yun Yao's arm to go numb and she almost couldn't hold the hilt of the sword. But she gritted her teeth and held the sword tightly, not letting it retreat even a little bit.
At this time, Chu Mochen also stood up with all his strength, his eyes gleaming like stars. The spiritual power in his body was running wildly, and although he was seriously injured, his momentum seemed to be even stronger than before. He held the sword of inquiry in his hand and approached Yun Yao step by step. Every step he took left a deep footprint on the ground, as if declaring his determination.
"Yun Yao, I'm here to help you!" Chu Mochen shouted, raising the Sword of Questioning in his hand high. A sword energy like a rainbow piercing the sun whistled out and rushed straight to the core, merging with the power of Yun Yao's sword against the sky.
With the combined efforts of the two, the altered origin of the Heavenly Dao seemed to let out a painful roar, and the light flickered violently, as if it was making its last struggle. The surrounding space seemed unable to withstand this powerful force, and cracks began to appear, like a broken mirror that could collapse at any time.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other, and saw fatigue in each other's eyes, but more of it was indomitable and resolute. They knew that this battle had reached the most critical moment, and victory or defeat depended on this one.
"With my soul, Yun Yao, I will defy this destiny!" Yun Yao roared to the sky, his voice seemed to penetrate the clouds and reach the nine heavens.
"With my soul, Chu Mochen, I will protect her eternal life!" Chu Mochen also shouted in unison. His voice was like a huge bell, echoing endlessly in this broken space.
As the two roared, the two swords seemed to be injected with endless vitality, and the light seemed to turn into a materialized dragon, madly devouring the core. Gradually, the strange light seemed to be purified and began to soften. The originally tampered heavenly path was like a strand of silk thread, slowly returning to its original position under the power of the two swords.
Finally, after a loud noise that sounded like the beginning of the world, the entire space seemed to return to peace. The tampered origin of the heavenly way seemed to have restored its former purity, emitting a soft and sacred light. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen smiled at each other. Although they were exhausted and covered in wounds, at this moment, their hearts were filled with joy and pride. They knew that they had succeeded, successfully protecting the cultivation world they loved and the fate of countless lives...
In the distance, Liu Yan'er seemed to have lost her soul, she collapsed to the ground, staring at the sky with empty eyes. The master of the Burning Heaven Palace was livid, he knew that his conspiracy had completely failed. He looked at Yun Yao and the others with hatred, as if he was swearing that today's revenge would be avenged in the future. But at this moment, he was too weak to fight anymore, he snorted coldly, turned into a puff of black smoke, and fled in embarrassment.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen ignored them, supporting each other and slowly walking towards the exit. They knew that the road ahead was still long, and there might be more challenges waiting for them, but as long as they worked hand in hand, nothing could stop them from moving forward...
